Today in Saint Mourice, in Switzerland, located at the entry to the upper Rhone Valley, between a rock face and the river. Here you will find the famous abbey and a castle.
A rather remarkable place with a long history. The abbey was founded in the 6th century and is one of the oldest in Western Christianity. The abbey itself is famous also for its beautiful Romanesque architecture.
The Abbey of Saint-Maurice in Valais was founded 1,500 years ago as a place of martyrdevotion. The pilgrimage site was once the spiritual center of the Burgundian Empire and today houses one of the richest church treasures in Europe.
